摘要对于语言学习者来说，一个重要的问题是如何识别论点结构的属性在他们学习的特定语言中是如何在形态句法上实现的。一些l15的使用者将英语主位宾语运动的形态句法反射过度概括为非宾格不及物动词，在这种情况下使用被动形态。相比之下，同样的二语学习者似乎不太可能在使用非否定动词时这样做。本文探讨了日语和西班牙语等具有不同类型英语的二语学习者是否会以同样的方式将被动形态过度概括为非宾格动词。结果表明，日语和西班牙语的英语学习者都能区分非宾格和非否定。然而，两组在非宾格与及物交替和不及物交替的处理上存在差异，这表明L1的形态特性受到了影响。
Abstract An important problem for a language learner is identifying how properties of argument structure are realized morphosyntactically in the particular language they are learning. Speakers of some L1s overgeneralize the morphosyntactic reflexes of the movement of Theme objects in English to unaccusative intransitive verbs, using passive morphology in such cases. In contrast, it appears that the same L2 learners are less likely to do this with unergative verbs. The present paper addresses the question of whether L2 learners of English with typologically different L1s such as Japanese and Spanish will overgeneralize passive morphology to unaccusative verbs in the same way. The results show that both Japanese and Spanish learners of English differentiate unaccusatives from unergatives. However, the two groups differ in their treatment of unaccusatives with transitive alternants and intransitive alternants, suggesting influence of the morphological properties of the L1.
